Barazek

Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes

Barazek, also spelled barazeq, is a Levantine cookie whose main ingredient is sesame, often combined with pieces of pistachio. It probably originated during Ottoman rule in Damascus, particularly in the city's Al Midan neighborhood, and today is sold in pastry shops throughout Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine and Syria and the wider Arab world. It is considered one of the more traditional Palestinian desserts and is commonly sold from street stalls in Jerusalem.
